IS Buttock Implants - The Plastic Surgery Procedure
This surgical procedure also called gluteoplasty or buttock augmentation. It is designed to reshape the size of your buttocks and create more firm and aesthetic appearance. The buttock area is not easily changed by weight reduction or exercise, therefore you may consider this operation to improve the look of your buttock. In general, every person wishing to undergo the operation, and is in a good physical condition, can do so.
During the operation the surgeon inserts silicon implants into your gluteal area. Unlike breast implants, these are soft and solid, their shape and size vary, according to individual body form and desires.
IS Buttock Implants - The Implants
There are few kinds of implants: round or oval (also called an anatomic implant). The most common implants are those made of silicon. It comes with a smooth or textured surface and they are solid (meaning: they rarely spill or rupture). The selection of an implant is usually made according to the surgeon's advice and your preference.
IS Buttock Implants - Insertion Locations
The incision for the implant insertion can be made in several locations: two excisions, either on the superior buttocks or inferior buttock near the posterior thigh. Both incisions leave a quite visible scar. One excision is made in the sacrum area, it goes from top down, and is usually small (4-6cm). The only problem is that such incision tends to become infected more often; this can be treated with antibiotics. The implant can be placed above or below the gluteal muscles. Finally, a liposuction can be added to this procedure to further shape your buttocks.
This procedure is preformed under general anesthesia and usually lasts one hour, liposuction may require an additional half hour (consult local IS surgeon).
IS Buttock Implants - Risks
Every procedure has its risks: this one includes bleeding, infection, nerve and/or muscle damage and damage to the implants, such as silicon spillage and buttock asymmetry.
IS Buttock Implants - After Surgery
After surgery you will feel pain and discomfort, and you will be prescribed with painkillers. You also have to wear a special bandage for 2-3 weeks to help your buttocks gain their new look. Occasionally you may feel either temperature changes or numbness in the area. This will resolve after a few months. It may take about 3 months for the swelling to resolve and the buttocks to regain their final appearance. You'll be able to go back to full activity after one month. Since the implants are placed far from the bony area you will have no trouble sitting. Finally, the implants will give your butt the look like you have been working out for years.

Iceland Cities
Reykjavik - The largest city and capital
Iceland By plane Iceland is easily reached via air and the international airport is Keflavik, in the southwest of the country about 40 km from Reykjavik.
The airport itself is quite barren; if you have a lengthy layover you should make sure to bring books or other entertainment.
An airport transfer bus service (called the FlyBus) runs between the airport and Reykjavik bus terminal via various hotels (1100 Kr [1200Kr from 01 Jan 07], 45 minutes). A return is 300 Kr cheaper than 2 singles. Another great option is to take the bus which stops at the Blue Lagoon either to or from the airport, then continues every half hour or so to Reykjavik.
Be warned, a metered taxi costs about 9500 krona (roughly US$140).
Plastic Surgery News...
- On Wednesday, the Cincinnati-based Kroger announced that it will begin selling 30-day supplies of more than 300 generic prescription drugs, including birth control pills, at significant discounts at participating pharmacies nationwide, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
- The outcomes of discussions during a forum set up to debate the issue of making medicines available to patients at an earlier stage of their development have been summarised in a document published on the MHRA website.
The aim of this Forum, set up under the Ministerial Industry Strategy Group (MISG), was to bring together representatives from all the stakeholder groups who might be expected to have an interest in earlier access to medicines, to explore the possible benefits and potential problems that might arise from such a scheme. The Forum comprised representatives from patient groups, academia, safety scientists, the pharmaceutical industry, medicines regulators and other Government officials concerned with medicines’ pricing and reimbursement mechanisms and health technology assessments (NICE).
The report recommends conditional licensing of new drugs at an earlier stage in the development process (e.g. at the end of Phase II). Such conditions would include for example a significant unmet clinical need, clear evidence of efficacy, confidence about safety, and informed consent. It also recommends allowing clinical use under strict controls, plus a systematic programme of pilot studies of conditional licensing for new drugs at an earlier stage, allowing initial use by specialists - but not GPs - in the context of a randomised control trial.
